Dear friends and fellow artists,
I wish you all happy holidays – Christmas or Hannukah or Kwanzaa or Yule or just New Year…
There is nothing wrong with enjoying and appreciating the warmth and beauty of someone else’s celebration, as long as we keep our identity.
I also wish you the best of health and luck in 2012 (for me, health and a bit of luck are the only two components we need in life – the rest can be influenced and improved by ourselves).
Let us never forget how short life is (even shorter than we can imagine sometimes) and embrace it and enjoy its every moment as best we can.
Thank you for all your support and feedback and comments and collaborations and the inspiration you have offered me throughout this year. I really appreciate it and need it to keep on creating. I am feeling so guilty when often I do not have the time or concentration or the right words to be able to reply to all of your wonderful comments.
I am happy to be part of the RedBubble community and hope that 2012 our bonds as fellow artists and/or friends will grow even stronger!
Best,
Ina

Thank you dear Ina for your beautiful Christmas Message. It was great collaborating with you in SoJie 12 and I have enjoyed very much following your beautiful art and your journey. Thank your or your lovely comments and support of my work too. Wishing you a Christmas full of love and warmth and a year in 2012 that is filled with creative inspiration and sharing. Have a lovely time.
Ina Mar:
Dear Anthea, you know I first noticed you for a trivial reason, just because you have my grandmother’s name… What a happy coincidence! Thank you too for the wonderful collaboration in Sojie 12 – who knows, perhaps there will be more projects in 2012? I enjoy your unique style, and there are three of your pieces which “haunt” me since I discovered them: Francis (especially since I saw the movie), “Be Careful What You Wish For” and its toothpaste translation by Christina Rodriguez, and “Love Bombed”. The accompanying texts are a great part of your strength… These pieces offer so much to think about that I will keep having them in my mind for a long time I think… All my best wishes to you beautful girl, for a happy, even more creative new year!
